My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this book for free from Book Look Bloggers in exchange only for an honest unbiased review of the book.

This book was not what I expected I was expecting a more adult style chapter book, but instead I found a much more young teen friendly book. The book jumps from topic to topic in a manner that many teens would find fun. This jumping from topic to topic helps to stop the book from getting boring. The author did a good job incorporating biblical elements into the book with out making it over kill. This book delivers on its promise to engage teenage girls with how it provides age relevant information on beauty, acne, and nail tips.

Armada by Ernest Cline

ArmadaArmada by Ernest Cline
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Okay so this is definitely a book for die hard geeks not regular sci-fi fans. The book is well written and everything flows together just fine, but it is very slow. The book does not really start until page 90. From that point the main character meets the Earth Defense Alliance who had been secretly preparing Earth's population for an alien invasion through pop culture. Movies like Star Wars and video games had been financed by the alliance to get people ready to fight the alien threat. The whole book is very conspiracy theory style with a very geeky hero element. I would not recommend this book to a friend or family member, but I acknowledge that their are probably a lot of people who would like this type of book and I don't mean to offend anyone with this review.

Second Street Station: A Mary Handley Mystery by Lawrence H. Levy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. It made the book look like it was old even though it was brand new. The cover told me that this was a book about the past before I even opened the cover. Once I began reading the book I became confused by the prologue which was about a man referred to as the Frenchman instead of the female detective Mary. Chapter one was where Mary appeared and the first chapter was where the reader learned about who Mary was as a person and how she became who she was. I loved how the book flashed back to her childhood days. My favorite part was when Mary put on the murder case. I also like how Mary played stupid at a party to get information from Edison, and to outwit him. I was surprised by how much of the book was real and I enjoyed the mix of real and fiction. Overall I found this book to be a good read even though the viewpoint swaps were a bit confusing.

Arabian Knights - Volume 2

Arabian Knights - Volume 2 (Knights of Arabia, #2)Arabian Knights - Volume 2 by Aisha Bilal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Arabian Knights - Volume 2 (Knights of Arabia) by Aisha Bilal is a set of multiple stories about the heroes of ancient Arabia. I skipped book one so I may have missed some information, but I did not notice any big gaps in the stories because of my lack of knowledge. I found each one of these stories enlightening; I never had read anything about Arabia before. I can honestly say that even though this is not the type of book I normally read I was very glad I read it. The stories are all a decent length not too long nor too short and they all keep you at the edge of your seat.
